Attorney Susan H. Hines has joined Caldwell Trust Co. as a vice president and trust officer.

The wife of Sarasota County Commissioner Charles Hines, Susan Hines was a vice president with Northern Trust's Wealth Strategies Group since 1996. In 2005, she assumed the duties of managing executive for Northern Trust's Venice office and became a member of its regional management team.

"I was attracted to Caldwell because they're independent, and I have always been impressed with their warm, client-focused approach," Hines said.

Hines has a bachelor's degree in business administration and a law degree from the University of Florida.

She began her career as a practicing attorney with Sarasota-based Icard, Merrill, Cullis, Timm, Furen & Ginsburg, concentrating on estate planning, real estate and corporate law. She moved into banking in 1994 as a trust administrator with SunTrust in Venice.

Caldwell, an independent trust company with offices in Venice and Sarasota, manages more than $600 million in assets for clients throughout the United States.
